Marine litter is identified as the major ocean pollution today, with a significant impact on environment. The transport of by circulation still poorly understood, and management marine remains challenge for local authorities. This work investigates floating (FML) in coastal area south-eastern Bay Biscay. It provides first assessment use operational observations models support FML this region. study based Lagrangian modelling approach, using surface velocity forcing (i) measurements...
Large scale convergence regions of floating marine litter are commonly observed in semi-enclosed seas as the Bay Biscay. However, clean-up activities on such accumulation limited by spread large-size sea surface. Data gathered a small-scale fishing vessel devoted to active for during spring and summer 2018 reveals that linear streaks high concentration (so-called "windrows") common structures south-east coast The random search windrows their collection through surface tows macro-nets was...

Coastal circulation influences the distribution of European anchovy (Engraulis encrasicolus) at early life stages (ELS) in Bay Biscay (BoB). However, how this happens is not yet fully understood. In work, further insight provided by performing Lagrangian diagnostics based on observations ELS anchovies' initial distributions and currents. Surface were obtained using high-frequency radar (HFR) currents applied to analyse multiyear variability detect coastal processes that affect distribution....
<p>The program “PlastEcoTrack”, or “PETrack”, aims at providing an operational support to reduce Floating Marine Litter (FML). More precisely, PET supporting FML reduction strategies both downstream (interception sea with collect vessels and on beaches cleaning facilities) upstream (source identification reduction), by tracking the dispersion of in estuaries coastal ocean. PETrack is currently supported European Spatial...
<p>Keywords: eutrophication; high resolution ocean modeling ; Chla satellite data biogeochemistry</p><p>Maliakos Gulf corresponds to mesotrophic waters that can reach eutrophic conditions and are occasionally subject Harmful Algal Blooms (HAB) (Varkitzi et al. 2018). At the same time, it is an important fish farming aquaculture production area. A large issue thus related monitoring forecasting of risk occurrence algae blooms in Gulf. For this...
<p>The role of coastal mesoscale variability in the modulation surface along-shelf and cross-shelf exchanges SE Bay Biscay has been demonstrated by several works, from land-based satellite observations, including high resolution current fields high-frequency (HF) radars. However, characterization physical processes associated transports at subsurface levels observations remains a challenge since are often too scarce to offer required spatio-temporal coverage. In addition...
